I've got an idea....
I've got a industrial/office power strip that has 9 sockets. I Record and edit Audio on my computer and i've read articles about proper grounding and noise suppression power strips.
I've got a bunch of old PC power supply's, ATX also. Located on the inside and directly connected to the two terminals on the female ATX socket is a blue Capacitor going across each terminal, and also in parallel with this is a small resistor. I haven't checked the value of the resistor yet. And i can't read the funny codes on these box shaped capacitors. I've got two PC power supply's that i took these from so there is two caps 1 each for each power Supply. I uploaded pics below.
---[::EDIT::]
Basically i'll sum it up.... What are they filtering and are these any use by adding to my powerstrip?
---[::END::]
Questions::-
I am wondering What these two components are actually doing?
Can someone tell me the values of the caps or how i would calculate the value?
Could possible use them to filter "noise" on my power strip i mentioned?
Maybe i could Use these instead of buying an expensive power strip that filters noise ... ??
I was thinking this could be a easy project if it does anything. Of course it doesn't help the ground though.
Any help would be Great.
Cool!!
